    Ottimo intervento di #AlessandroOrsini a Paper Fest (Carrara, 22 giugno). Se volete vederlo ma avete poco tempo, vi consiglio di iniziare dal minuto 43 in cui parla della sudditanza italiana con un esempio eclatante: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsK7zJvXo78

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@smaurizi/116901823594717422 I understand that most people here care about their followers and hesitate to post about things their followers don&amp;#39;t expect from them. But what&amp;#39;s happening in #Gaza, with the silence and complicity of our governments, is far beyond normal. Boosting or writing about it from time to time is the minimum we can do to protest and to show that we collectively denounce it and do not accept it being done in our name.

    What is wrong with @EUCommission ? #VonDerLeyen stopped a ready-to-issue billion-euro fine against Google: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/kommentar-von-der-leyen-sendet-ein-fatales-signal-an-big-tech/ -by @kuketzblog Years of work sabotaged right at the top. We have a cancer at the heart of Europe! If this is what the EC truly wants, why would anyone believe its rhetoric on the #ChipsAct and chip independence? Our experience fits the same pattern. We had an EU project to promote open hardware,...

    1 of 2 The reason Israel can get away with every international law violation is not failure of international law. It is the failure of our countries (Italy, Germany, most of the EU) which have decided non-enforcement. If Italy (or other countries) decided to escort the Sumud Flotilla with a military ship, it is nearly certain that the remaining #Sumud would reach its destination, but #Meloni CANNOT do that -which is very telling about the level of corruption of our system. ...
